MicroRNA‑103 modulates tumor progression by targeting KLF7 in non‑small cell lung cancer.
Article in International journal of molecular medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Numerous studies have identified that microRNAs (miRs) play a crucial role in the tumorigenesis of non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, to the best of our knowledge, the physiological function of miR‑103 in NSCLC is not fully understood. Experiments in the present study revealed that miR‑103 expression was increased in NSCLC cell lines. In addition, a series of methods, including MTT, colony formation, 5‑ethynyl‑2'‑deoxyuridine, Transwell, wound healing, flow cytometric, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR and western blot assays, were performed, which revealed that overexpression of miR‑103 enhanced cell growth, migration, invasion and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT), and suppressed apoptosis of A549 and H1299 cells. Additionally, a dual‑luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR‑103 directly targets the 3'‑untranslated region of Kruppel‑like factor 7 (KLF7), and KLF7 expression was negatively regulated by miR‑103 expression. Furthermore, the present findings demonstrated that miR‑103 promoted EMT via regulating the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway in NSCLC. Collectively, the current results demonstrated that miR‑103 serves a tumorigenesis role in NSCLC development by targeting KLF7, at least partly via the Wnt/β‑catenin signaling pathway. Consequently, these findings indicated that miR‑103/KLF7/Wnt/β‑catenin may provide a novel insight into underlying biomarkers for improving the diagnosis and treatment of NSCLC.
